It's a live service AAAA Open World Taxi Royale Roguelite with crafting, survival and deck building, first season pass: Seaman skins.

what is even the point of making a taxi game MMO? just so you can see other players driving fares around you and potentially fucking your shit up?

[-] variants@possumpat.io 19 points 4 months ago

Exactly, like gta online probably

but at least inGTA you can have PvP and Co-op… what is the PvP or co-op play in driving taxi fares?

You can be an obnoxious passenger threatening 1 star reviews, the driver has an ult calling a wellness check on you

You can now get the experience of being aggresively tailed in a game too!

I mean, both forza horizon and the crew exists and are successful, so multiplayer open world driving is a thing people like, I just don't think how they can put Crazy Taxi on it without diluting the gameplay.

Those are racing games, not Taxi games. Of course racing games are a perfect fit for online PvP. But you're not racing against other players while driving a taxi fare.
